Scope and Content
This project series documents the Casa J. M. Teixeira in Guimarães, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 11/80. The office assigned the date 1981 to this project.
The project files document the repurposing of an old barn into a house. Additions to the site included a swimming pool, a fountain, and several decorative elements in the garden. The house also included a gymnasium. Granite blocks were used on the exterior of the house. The house was built between 1980 and 1990.
Documenting this project are sketches, studies, working drawings, structural drawings, and technical drawings. Textual material includes project documentation. Photographic material documents the models, construction work, and the built project.
Materials in this project series were compiled from multiple accessions. Materials within each accession were arranged by Álvaro Siza's office and have been kept in that order.
